XSChop How did you machine the fork? I'm not a machinist by any means. Do you think I could a die grinder? Also are you still making short shift linkages?

I will build more rear chromoly linkages in a few weeks.
For the billet fork it was one-piece 4140 steel and took 2 days machine time by hand. Was not fun. Someone in S Carolina has that car. More material was added around the base curve of the forks and double material on the sides of the forks opposite the TOB.

I pulled the clutch today and the fork is half cracked through.

Also I actually have a KEP stage 1, not stage 2.

My clutch disk is almost at the rivets so I'll change that at the same time .

I just reinstalled my clutch.

TRP sent me his NA clutch fork. Thank a lot for that!!!

I was very skeptical about the NA fork being used in the turbo. After looking at them side by side I am positive that using an NA fork is the way to go. It needs to be ground a bit to make it fit, but the advantage here is that I only ground where I needed to, and only around the tips. This leaves the break prone area with the maximum amount of material.

I went at it with a little die grinder and a file. I didn't want to heat the fork whatsoever. It fits with a bit of clearance.

Also of interest is that it seems the tips are hardened, only about 1/8 where they touch the TO bearing. I don't know this for sure, but they are harder to file than the rest of the tips.

I haven't driven the car yet as I'm still putting it all back together.

I also changed the clutch while I had everything off. I had a cup clutch in there and bought what I thought was another one. It looks like Sachs has changed the cup clutch. It fits so no biggie, I was just surprised. I hope it works as well.

Glad you received it ok a quick scrub with steel wool should take care of that surface discoloration if it bothers you at all.
